Matriarch Neera
The beast was nearly upon us, furious, but sharp like a blade, its eyes hard as ice and obsidian, teeth bared in anger. From my side I heard Uro shouting, and the young leader...
2025-07-11 17:42:48 +0000 UTC View PostIt was our spellcasters who began things. Waves of cold and ice flew forward first, not just towards the enemy but also the ground, a path, a way for the more physically inclined to potentially rea...
2025-07-09 15:45:35 +0000 UTC View Post“You knew the archmage?” I said after a long silence.
“Yes, for quite some time. It was very refreshing to see one of us who would live so long.” He smiled for a moment before saying ...

2025-07-07 06:19:27 +0000 UTC View PostOur lack of enemies continued, and we continued to slowly make our way westward. The blimp could easily out speed the war-band but that would defeat the point. That was one thing losing most of my ...
2025-07-04 10:52:18 +0000 UTC View PostWe did not bother meeting up with the other ship's crew before heading to shore. A certain goblin was very, very insistent that we see what was left. It was hope, but from what I could see that hop...
2025-07-01 19:58:37 +0000 UTC View PostTrying to do it again was a bit of a failure, mostly because of where we found ourselves today.
“Nothing again, I'm beginning to suspect we may have a problem,” Uro said, the leader of on...
2025-06-30 19:43:33 +0000 UTC View PostWith little else to do and few places I could reasonably go I spent much of my journey studying language in an intensive way. This of course led to a certain goblin girl joining along with my lesso...
2025-06-27 12:53:55 +0000 UTC View PostIt was fortunate that the dinos had abandoned attacking us before we made it back to our temporary base. The wall we'd build had worked as a staging point thus far, being made thicker and stronger,...

All good things must come to an end, and so too did my break for training. Rowenna had to re...
2025-06-23 20:03:54 +0000 UTC View PostFor some time now I've known that I've needed to take a small break, and while I was planning for that to be at the end of next month things have conspired to push that forwards. Most of those ar...
2025-06-18 02:11:17 +0000 UTC View PostI awoke with a start.
“We've got incoming,” Chien informed me.
Over the last week we'd gotten our hunting of the fire dinos, and I was still needing a better name than that, down al...
2025-06-14 09:41:12 +0000 UTC View PostI don't know if anyone slept the first night we spent at our newly constructed wall, but I know that I didn't. I tossed and turned until I couldn't bear it anymore and just got up to keep watch. I ...

2025-06-10 18:16:57 +0000 UTC View PostNo sooner had out target spotted the army than it charged. It raced down the mountain like an avalanche, causing one in the wake of the oncoming creature. Rather than snow though this one was fire ...
2025-06-07 01:39:01 +0000 UTC View PostI followed through with what I'd learned and set up a slew of meetings. The first of which was with my younger half-sibling. Okay, set up was a bit of an excess, more like showed up at our grandpar...
2025-06-03 13:36:42 +0000 UTC View PostAs the first rays of dawn lit up the canopy our army came to life. Like ants moving in a swarm I could see the land based troops below making their way towards the roads. Nobody was flying but us j...
2025-06-02 06:13:19 +0000 UTC View PostI learned a lot about our enemy, but sadly nowhere near as much as I might have liked. From the sounds of it they were almost dinosaurs, and for a time I thought they might be the dragons whose bon...

2025-05-28 02:48:34 +0000 UTC View PostI wasn't given a moment to rest, nor much to chat with my new companions, no, instead we were led to a massive chamber. Everywhere I looked there were elders, some clearly from the north with their...
2025-05-26 06:28:42 +0000 UTC View PostWe did not make it to Rolan's tree before we were intercepted in a major way. A flying wing of elves rose from the canopy, heading straight towards us looking none too pleased as we closed in on th...

“Old enough,” he replied without even looking up.

2025-05-19 14:26:35 +0000 UTC View PostShorin's message had been short and disturbing.
“Prepare weapons to fight Ancient level opponents, come as soon as you're ready.” Such things never bode well for anyone, much less whole s...

Three weeks I'd traveled, which in the long run wasn't all that bad, but it was a horrid trip. Only a few of us had come, with a leaning towards speed. Several of my escorts were stron...

2025-05-12 06:51:27 +0000 UTC View PostIt had been too long for me, but finally my child was back. Well, I guess Chien was back too, but he could well take care of himself.
